ABSTRACT:
A quick-disconnect hydraulic coupling apparatus for connecting fluid lines of a fluid handling system provides substantially unrestricted fluid flow through the coupler assembly. The coupler apparatus includes male and female coupler devices adapted to be connected together and each of which includes a manually operated ball valve which provides a fluid flow path through the coupling apparatus having a cross-sectional area at least as great as that of hydraulic lines which the couplers interconnect. The coupling apparatus provides positive linear locking which maintains the male and female coupling units in linear alignment preventing inadvertent disconnection of the coupler devices.
